18 months post-op

I have been contemplating getting my hair transplant for few years, and I am glad I waited. The technology has vastly improved and Dr Serkan's clinic is where I am glad I landed. His staff and and the whole experience was exceptional from the consultatation, the procedures, and the results so far are what I have expected. Thank you to the operation team for their kindness and meticulous work. I could not be happier. I will post before and after pictures at the 3 months mark, but so far I am excited about the final outcome. Here are current today and before pictures at day 18 after surgery.

Very positive experience with Smile Hair Clinic from start to finish. Communication before my trip was clear and fast, the team was professional and caring on the day of the procedure, and the aftercare/follow-up has been excellent. At around the 3-month mark I’m already seeing clear signs of new growth, minimal folliculitis, and the redness has been gradually fading. I feel well guided and confident about the final result. Highly recommended.

4300 grafts

Getting a hair transplant is a really big deal. There’s a lot of coordination and research and planning that went into my hair transplant operation. And smile hair clinic was exceptional in their communication and setting expectations as well as making sure that I was happy and comfortable. I initially had a friend who introduced me to smile and had great results so I flew to Turkey and moved forward with the procedure. I was amazed at their level of professionalism and care for my client experience. They answered all of my questions and before my trip sent me content and frequently asked questions which helped me feel more comfortable in making the trip and having the procedure. I had 4300 grafts and the entire process took about seven hours. Their post operation care has also been tremendous. I don’t give out reviews very often, but I would highly recommend smile hair clinic if you are considering a hair transplant.

6 months post-op

Very professional service, amazing team, everyone was extremely helpful and answered every question I had. Would highly recommend Clinicana to others as they will guide you every step of the way - pre op and post op as well. Looking forward to my results 👍. The 2nd picture is after 6 months, excited to see the final results.

5 star experience all the way around. The months following the procedure are long but 100% worth it. My only regret is not doing it sooner.

Did my hair a year ago. From the start to finish I was stunned with how amazing the service was. They pick you up at the airport - put you in a AMAZING hotel with the BEST BRESKFAST. Hotel is seconds from the hospital. Transplant went great. Changed my life !!!!

FUE

Absolutely top class service from start to finish. This was my second fue procedure with Clinicana and both were so easy to organise with constant help and guidance from their wonderful patient liason, Ecem. Both procedures went flawlessly and I am very happy with the results and also how well I was looked after by the entire Clinicana team. 5 star treatment!

DHI 4200 grafts 12 months post-op

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic in Istanbul and I highly recommend them. In summer 2024 I started researching hair transplant options in Turkey and requested multiple offers. Although this clinic was about €1,500 more expensive than another clinic my brother and a friend used, I chose Dr. Serkan Aygın based on a recommendation from someone who had a much better result. I preferred paying more for quality. I first contacted Alexandra (Romania representative) in early October. She was professional, honest, and very clear in answering all my questions—no unrealistic promises. After reviewing my photos, the clinic estimated around 4,200 grafts. I arrived in Istanbul on December 1, 2024 and everything was well organized: airport pickup, hotel accommodation, and clear instructions. The clinic itself is modern, very clean, and professional. A big thank you to Geanina (Romanian representative from clinic), who stayed with me the entire time—including during the procedure—translated everything, and explained all steps and aftercare in detail. The surgery took around 7.5 hours, with 4,800 grafts implanted. The team was large, well coordinated, and very attentive. After the procedure, I received medication instructions and detailed recovery guidance. After returning home, I sent monthly progress photos for follow-up. At month 11, the clinic offered a warranty return to densify the front area (800–1,000 grafts), with me paying only hotel and transfers. I returned on January 25, 2026, and the doctor decided to perform a much larger densification—over 3,000 grafts—at no additional cost. They even assigned me the same team as my first surgery, and the staff remembered my case very well. This second procedure was about 6.5 hours and they implanted 3,550 grafts. Overall, the organization, cleanliness, staff professionalism, follow-up, and especially the warranty support were outstanding. If you want a serious clinic with good communication and strong aftercare, I can confidently recommend Dr. Serkan Aygın Clinic. I’ve included a few photos where you can see how I looked before the surgery, after the first year, and one week after the second procedure!

9 months post-op

9 months review: the progress is better. And the frontline looks natural. The rear area is not filled yet. Chinara follows up with you even if forget :). 6 months update: the progress looks good. Hair is thickening and bold areas are filling bit by bit. Photos added. More progress to be seen every day. Overall satisfied with the results. Continuous follow up from chinara. 1 day after operation: I am a very picky person. I did research for several months and talked to more than 20 centres all over turkey and read all their reviews (beware of fake reviewers). I chose Clinicana because of 3 main things: 1.excellent reviews (i even asked Chinara about the bad reviews and she explained for me case by case). 2. Procedure done at luxury and famous hospital (Acibadem) and not at a clinic (all staff are super nice and the standards are super high like 5 stars hotel). 3. Doctor Rawad and chinara explained everything step by step, and they were realistic and did not exaggerate with expectations. Dr rawad follows the case by himself. Chinara is a SUPER lady, always there to answer any question with a smile. You cant imagine the amount of details she provides. She welcomed me and stayed with me until the operation time. And she is not trying to sell you touristic tours as others did. I took the basic package with no hotel, but chinara even tried to help finding me an hotel that is close. The prices are fixed and when u come u will notice that it is worth it and well deserved with the amount of effort they do. I did the operation yesterday and i was very satisfied with the procedure. Only pain for 10 mins during anesthesia injections. I will wait for the results in 6 months. No hidden costs and not trying to rub you! That is very important so you dont feel they are taking advantage of you. They provided shampoo, lotion, special hat, and 5 medications for free.

36 months post-op

The best investment I made at the age of 40 was going to the Smile Hair Clinic to get a hair Transplant done!!! After months of research, my best friend and I went together and the experience, care, efficiency of the smile hair clinic team was truly amazing! It's been 2 years since the transplant and I am so happy with the results and growth!! Highly recommended!! Super impressed! Well I did it again! I returned to the Smile Hair Clinic for round 2 for a hair transplant as the 1st round 3 years ago was such a huge success!!! The Smile hair team including the assistance of my team member Zeynep was truly amazing just as it was the first time I was there. The team truly cares, the organization in that place is truly mesmerizing!!!! Note: I do not have any hair dye in my hair in the post surgery photos.

I had a great experience with Vera Clinic. The entire team was very professional, organized, and highly qualified. From the first day to the last day, everything went very smoothly. The doctors were knowledgeable and attentive, and the clinic provides excellent follow-up care for patients. Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend Vera Clinic.

Had a fantastic experience getting a hair transplant at Sule a few weeks ago, and am so excited for my new hair coming in great already! They handled everything from pickup at the airport and the hotel, which made it easy for me. Their staff was incredibly friendly and always made sure I was comfortable and answered any question I had. Their process is so efficient and shows how their knowledge and experience makes them the best! I already have multiple friends that are booking soon with them because of how great my hair’s already looking! Can’t wait to see it in a year!

9 months post-op

Good morning, today, January 19, 2026, I'm pleased to share my transplant results. It's been over 9 months. I'm very satisfied and even more anxious to achieve 100% growth, especially as the work is completed. My case is grade 6 baldness, so it's very extensive, and I was planning on two treatments from the beginning to cover the entire area. The post-op process went very well, very smooth and uneventful, with no adverse events. Therefore, I'm completely satisfied with the results achieved so far and with the progress made after the procedure. I'm completely satisfied with myself. At 66, this year I feel significantly better about my appearance. Again, I wish I could have done it sooner. Thanks to Alpi, a new arrival post-op, for the service always meeting expectations, and best regards to Sumy, who contacted me personally by phone. Finally, thanks to Dr. Cinik's entire team, and I look forward to seeing you in the fall to complete the work. I'm posting some photos so you can all make your own assessments.

4850 grafts

I had my hair transplant at Vera Clinic in Istanbul on January 2nd and I am genuinely impressed. The level of care, professionalism and attention to detail was exceptional. The clinic is extremely clean, modern and aesthetically beautiful (11/10 for cleanliness), and the entire medical team deserves a 12/10 for how they treat patients. I had 4580 grafts transplanted, which required proper planning and an individual strategy. What really stood out to me was the personalised approach — they consider your head shape, hair structure and future styling. In my case they even avoided extracting grafts from areas that could later affect the natural direction of the hair due to a slight occipital indentation. That shows real experience. My case was medically complex because I have SUSSAC syndrome, which involves immunology, long-term medication and an increased risk of bleeding. Two clinics refused to operate on me, and others avoided discussing medical details. Vera Clinic was the only one that prepared a proper medical protocol including IV steroids, PRP and medication adjustments. Despite the increased risk, the procedure went extremely well and, surprisingly, my healing was even better than many healthy patients — proof that proper preparation matters. The surgery took around seven hours and the channels were opened by the professor personally, which for me was crucial because angle and direction determine naturalness. Throughout the procedure I felt safe and well cared for — the team worked in shifts, everything was sterile, calm and efficient. The support continued after the surgery with daily guidance and instructions. I never felt left alone at any stage. If they asked me to pay an extra €1000 for this level of care, I genuinely would. Professionalism, safety and individual approach matter more than anything. I sincerely and confidently recommend Vera Clinic.

My experience with Cosmedica was amazing. Shout out to Misra for always keeping me in the loop! The team was great that did my operation always checking in to see if I was okay. I was nervous at first, this being my first time in Turkey and first time doing a hair transplant. But Misra and her team were very professional and always made sure I knew what was next. I’m coming back to get my crown area done and I feel sure and comfortable going with Cosmedica again. Thank you Misra so much and thank you Cosmedica for being professional in what you do and patient with foreigners. 🙏🏽 Pictures below show day after operation (painless) and second picture is month 3 (ugly duckling faze lol) thickness will be noticeable around month 6 which I’m excited for. I recommend this place to anyone wanting a procedure done. You won’t be disappointed.

I had my hair transplant done at Cosmedica about a month ago. The whole experience has greatly exceeded my expectations. Everything went smoothly from the initial consultation, booking the appointment, transportation from and to the airport, hotel arrangement and eventually the procedure. I was very impressed by the efficiency and effectiveness of Cosmedica's operation. All the people involved were super professional and polite. The communication with Cosmedica team throughout the entire process is timely and efficient. I am very happy with the results so far.

1 months post-op

Everything was very professional, from the very first conversation with the consultant to the postoperative support. Dr. Cinik personally saw me the day before the operation and again on the day of the procedure. I really liked the doctors and the team who performed the transplant — their professionalism was clearly evident, and I believe they made the procedure as comfortable as possible. After the operation, I stayed in Istanbul for one extra day, as I needed to return to Ukraine by plane first and then drive about 1,000 km by car. That decision was absolutely the right one; in fact, I would recommend everyone to spend an additional day resting at the hotel. It has now been two weeks since the transplant, and I am satisfied with the current results. I am very grateful to Dr. Cinik and his entire team.

I just have to say, thank you so much to the entire Vera Clinic team! You have simply changed my life. Over the course of two years, I’ve had two transplants, one per year, and the change has been remarkable. For those who are still unsure about undergoing a procedure like this, I can assure you that if you make the decision, you won’t regret it. But before doing so, you must find the right place, and that’s Vera Clinic. Believe me, this place is definitely one of the best !!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire team (the reception staff, nurses, and doctors) at ESTENOVE.From the moment I walked through your doors, I was met with a level of professionalism, warmth, and care that immediately put me at ease. After doing lot of research, thankfully I found ESTENOVE for my hair transplant . I did my hair transplant at 23/04/2025. Ii feel great and more confident. 😘😘 definitely recommend for ESTENOVE...💪💪

10 months post-op

I am now 10 months post hair transplant and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. My hair looks very natural, thick, and healthy, and the transformation has exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the team at Este Nove were outstanding. They were professional, supportive, and kept in regular contact with me throughout the entire process, always giving clear and helpful advice. The whole experience was completely stress-free, from the airport pick-up to my return flight home. The hospitality from the team made me feel comfortable straight away. The hotel was excellent, and all transport was well organised and reliable. On the day of the transplant I was a little nervous, but my translator Irem was amazing. She explained everything clearly, stayed with me throughout, and really helped put me at ease. The clinic itself was very clean, modern, and professional. The doctors and medical team were welcoming, skilled, and reassuring. During the procedure I felt relaxed to the point where I was nearly falling asleep — it was genuinely much easier than I expected 😂. The following day I returned to the clinic for cleaning and final checks before flying home. I received full aftercare instructions and a lifetime warranty, which gave me great peace of mind. I brought the aftercare products back with me on the plane without any issues. Now, at 10 months on, the results speak for themselves. My hair looks completely natural, fuller, and has massively boosted my confidence. I honestly cannot recommend Este Nove enough. If you’re considering a hair transplant and weighing up your options, go with Este Nove — you will not regret it.

Three months ago, I packed up my receding hairline and headed to Turkey for a hair transplant with Smile Hair Clinic. I’m happy to report both I and my hairline returned in better condition than when we left. From the moment I booked, the whole experience felt reassuringly professional. Communication was (and still is) excellent. The WhatsApp group deserves a special mention — detailed, clear, and helpful without ever tipping into “please stop messaging me” territory. Any date changes, questions, or even bringing my partner along were handled smoothly and without fuss. They made the whole process incredibly easy, including help with flights, and once in Turkey they handled all transport. And when I say transport, I mean luxury transport — far superior to anything we call a taxi in the UK. The hotel was basic but clean, modern, and perfectly fine, with decent food and located about three minutes from the clinic. No trekking across Istanbul with a freshly transplanted scalp, thankfully. At the clinic itself, the staff were calm, competent, and instantly put me at ease during the paperwork and prep stages. There was one brief moment where someone seemed a little unsure of what they were meant to be doing, but it was minor and quickly resolved — and honestly, when people are working on your head, you notice everything. The procedure itself was surprisingly uneventful (which is exactly what you want). The injections are painful — no sugar-coating that — but they warn you beforehand, and once they’re done, the rest of the day passes in a bit of a medicated blur. Afterwards, you’re given very clear instructions on how to care for your newly delicate scalp and sent off to rest. Before flying home, there’s a thorough (but not overwhelming) information session on aftercare, what helps growth, what doesn’t, and what to expect — followed by another ride in their very fancy transport back to the airport. Once home, you do need to follow the aftercare advice properly. It’s uncomfortable for a while — itchy, sore, and occasionally making you question your life choices — but Smile Hair Clinic stayed in constant contact. They encouraged regular photo updates, responded quickly with advice, and were genuinely reassuring throughout the healing process. Three months in, the results are already starting to show, and I’m genuinely very happy with how it’s turning out. The communication hasn’t stopped, the support is ongoing, and the results are heading in exactly the right direction. In short: professional, well-organised, supportive, and worth every penny. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smile Hair Clinic to anyone considering a hair transplant. Thank you to everyone involved for making the process as painless as possible — both for my wallet and my scalp. Can’t fault their service.

This review is coming after an year since I did the hair transplant on December 2024. Vera clinic changed my confidence level and you can see it from the photos. Experience was top notch from airport pickup to accommodation to the world class treatment and after care. Special mention to Sally Ersin and Dr.Kerim for their hospitality and support. I have already referred couple of friends and now they are on board to turkey. They waited to see how I look after an year. I am planning to visit the clinic again to get my crown area fixed. Thank you once again to Vera clinic and the entire team for giving my confidence back.

5500 grafts 1 months post-op

My hair transplant procedure took place on 13.11.2025, and I had an outstanding experience with Este Meidal Group, deserving the highest possible rating. Everything was handled with exceptional professionalism and complete transparency from start to finish. I didn’t have to think about anything—upon arrival, I was picked up directly at the airport and accompanied to my hotel, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A particularly positive surprise was the graft count. Based on the photos I had sent before the procedure, I was told that around 4,000 grafts could be implanted. However, after the in-person evaluation at the clinic, they were able to implant an impressive 5,500 grafts. This exceeded my expectations and demonstrated their honesty, expertise, and commitment to achieving the best possible result. A special note of appreciation goes to Saimir, who welcomed me warmly and checked on me several times throughout the day. His professionalism, human kindness, and deep knowledge of post-transplant hair-care products were truly invaluable. He made me feel comfortable, well-informed, and fully supported at all times. A big thank you to all the doctors and the entire staff at Este Meidal Group. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering a hair transplant.

I am very glad, that I chose just this unique Sule hair clinic for my hair transplant surgery. I very recommend this place for everyone, who wants to have the best results.I was very satisfied with whole process...All staff was very kind and helpfull to me for whole time and I felt there like at my home place...They also gave me advices step by step how to properly continue with whole process after surgery🙏. So in general, my experience was perfect in every way🙏💓. I very appreciatte for that🙏.

Traveling all the way from Montréal, Québec (Canada) to Istanbul is not a small decision, but even with the distance, I genuinely don’t regret choosing Smile Hair Clinic. I didn’t pick them for proximity—I picked them because they clearly stood out in terms of quality and professionalism. Before choosing Smile Hair Clinic, I contacted five different clinics. I could have saved a few hundred dollars elsewhere, but the difference in communication, professionalism, and overall confidence was obvious. Quality mattered more to me, and I’m glad I followed that instinct. Before the procedure, I was concerned about overharvesting, especially since my donor area wasn’t the strongest and my hair loss was already advanced. What reassured me was that the medical team did not try to extract as many grafts as possible just to satisfy the patient. Instead, they gave me a strategic, honest, and medically sound plan. They focused on the frontal area to maximize visual impact without damaging my donor zone or leaving unnecessary marks. Their objectivity and integrity made a big difference. I chose the intermediate package with a modification to a 4-star hotel. Everything was perfectly organized: airport pick-up, hotel stay, and clinic transfers. Right after the surgery, I was given a very complete recovery kit: medications, creams, lotions, oils, special shampoo, a pillow for the first nights, and a detailed post-op guide explaining each step of the recovery. It felt extremely professional and reassuring. The follow-up has also been excellent. All my questions—before and after the procedure—have been answered quickly via WhatsApp, at any hour. Now, one month after the operation, everything is going smoothly, and I’m truly happy with my decision. I highly recommend Smile Hair Clinic for their professionalism, honesty, and the quality of their care.

FUE 5000 grafts 6 months post-op

6 months post FUE transplant to top (tonsure) area and front. Had approx 5000 grafts done. Went to Elithair on the recommendation of two friends from home (Ireland) who both had great results. Pick up from the airport and greeting at the clinic plus info provided there was superb. I was really unsure and nervous about having the procedure but the clinic were first class. Had Sally (interpreter) there to make sure I was satisfied with all the info and answer all my questions / concerns. She was really reassuring and did a great job. Accommodation was basic but exactly what you want with a hospital bed in situ making the first night sleeping slightly upright after the procedure as comfortable as you could ask for. Procedure itself was so professional and well organised. The guys performing the procedure were really efficient and made the experience feel much less nerve wracking than it might have been. Only painful part was the initial injections to numb everything and after that you don’t feel too much at all. I had a headache for a few days afterwards but a small price to pay for a result that I’m absolutely delighted with. Couldn’t recommend this clinic high enough. I am only 6 months after the transplant and they say it keeps improving up to 12 months for the front and up to 18 months for the tonsure area. I also take finasteride 2-3 times a week 1.25mg dose, use regaine foam twice daily and had some post operative PRP once a month for the first 6 months. Some before and after pics attached.

5000 grafts 3 months post-op

I had a hair transplant surgery three months ago in Cosmedica clinic. Everything was organised at high level including transfer from the airport and hotel stay during the procedure. My surgery was split in two days as more than 5000 grafts needed to be transplanted, with first day including blood test, consultation with doctor and major part of the surgery. Surgery went smooth and painless apart from anaesthesia part which only took around 10 minutes, I even managed to sleep for the most part of the surgery. After three months the results are already visible and astonishing even though I was told that I need to wait at least six months for the first good results. Attached photos before and three months after surgery. I want to express my highest gratitude to Dr Acar and his clinic.

I had the best experience with Cosmedica. I’m so glad I decided to go for them once I had chosen to get a new hairline through a hair transplant surgery. The entire team was fantastic and I felt taken care of from the day I reached out to them. In the time leading up to the trip to Turkey, during my stay and during the recovery phase, they’ve been there for every question and concern. I wish I could remember every name and thank them individually. Dr. Acar, the staff at the clinic, the surgeons, my WhatsApp contacts and anyone else part of this journey. They all deserve praise for making the experience so good. The surgery itself lasted for a long time and it was intense for the body, but the whole experience felt safe and professional. The anesthesia needles hurts quite a bit, but that’s just the price beauty demands. I also fainted at some point, but the staff handled that situation perfectly. For me, the true MVP of my stay was the surgeons I had. Young, talented and empathetic. I knew I was in good hands. What else is there to say? The result is already showing and I’m so happy with it. Easily worth every euro. I recommend Cosmedica to anyone interested in a hair transplant, whether it’s to adjust your hairline (like me) or to reverse balding. They’ll provide a great service, handle everything with kind professionalism and they were never dishonest. Again, thank you so much! can’t wait to show you the results of the hair transplant in the coming year. PS: I was given the choice to keep my long hair, but I wanted a fresh start.

Amazing hair transplant with excellent density and a natural-looking hairline — highly recommend ✨SULE HAİR TRANSPLANT✨ !

I chose estenove based on reviews and research online only, I have wanted a hair transplant for around 5 years but it's taken me so long to get the courage to reach out and make that stand.I approached several companies in Istanbul for a quote but went with estenove based on the fact their reviews were the highest rating and I'm glad I did.From the moment I payed the deposit I have dealt with a lady called Sinem and she has been in constant contact since I've been back in England to check up on me and my progress and has been amazing and she has made the whole experience so comfortable for me so thank you Sinem if you read this, also can't speak highly enough of this hospital and the fact I work in a medical industry here I know I picked the right company to go with considering how nervous I was, the staff over the 2 days were brilliant and I was treated so well.I can't wait to see how my hair turns out. I am now 9 months post op and the results have blown me away, I could not be happier, I've attached a post op one and one from the day of the transplant also.

I must admit, I was initially skeptical about handling everything through WhatsApp – from the first contact to booking the procedure. However, my worries turned out to be completely unnecessary. The communication was incredibly smooth, and everyone I dealt with was trustworthy and professional. Before I even left my home country, I had a proper consultation where they assessed whether I was suitable for the transplant. This gave me peace of mind and confidence before traveling. Upon arrival, everything was well-organized: • I was picked up from the airport by a private transfer, included in the price. • A blood test was done to ensure I’m fit for the procedure. • I was checked into a beautiful hotel, right next to the clinic – also included in the package. The consultations with the doctors were thorough and reassuring. The procedure itself was painless, except for the anesthesia injections, which for me were slightly uncomfortable but short-lived. What impressed me most was the ongoing support. The staff was available at every step to explain everything clearly and respond almost instantly – even now, seven months after the surgery. As for the results – the transformation is incredible. From being almost completely bald to seeing this much growth in just seven months is absolutely mind-blowing. Clinicana exceeded my expectations in every way. If you’re considering a hair transplant, I can’t recommend them enough.

As a Canadian looking into international options for a hair transplant I was obviously very timid leaving to country for the first time to do a medical operation. The whole process is kinda scary to wrap your head around. I chose Vera clinic originally because they do package deals and not a per graph price point. Most places I contacted said I’d need 2 operations(including Vera), so my thought was to try a cheaper clinic that does packages and need be, if it doesn’t turn out I can go somewhere else to fix and fill in crown with second operation. So through results and price and availability I ended up choosing Vera clinic. They have been very communicative throughout the first message gathering options to now 6 months post op, any questions they’d have an answer within a day (time change) so it was fairly quick. They had everything planned out and executed as they said they would. Fast forward to in person Expirience. They picked me up from the airport at midnight turkey time and got me to my hotel easy, next day 8am was procedure. Day of procedure was very fast a quick, nerves are flowing not knowing what to expect. Within 1 hour they meet with you, check hair density and draw hairline with the main doctor. You then go to sign paperwork and make the payment (bring cash they charge crazy fees for credit cards) after that they take you to get changed, shave your head, take blood work and take a Xanax with a juice box (15-20 minutes). From there straight to the operation room, after anaesthesia shots I passed out and slept through the whole thing as I was super jet lagged. Half way they woke me up to eat and do other half of operation. When I woke up at the end I was very cold and they helped get me situated and went through the night time and aftercare process. The next day you go back to the clinic for a wash and I did the hyperbaric chamber package and did that. They then run through all aftercare you need for the success of the hair transplant. They then tried upselling some product for after care but I declined as I can get that stuff much cheaper back home in Canada. After that they asked if I wanted to do an interview which I gladly did and they gifted me 6 months supply of hair serum which was really cool as I think the stuff worked pretty well. Throughout the last 6 months they’ve been wanting me to leave a review but I was waiting until 6 months post op so I can be as transparent and honest with anyone interested. Through my whole Expirience I am very pleased with how I was treated and most importantly the end results. They took and questions and concerns into consideration in the steps of drawing the hairline and my main concern was not over harvesting the donor area. If I chose to go do another transplant to touch up the crown I will without a doubt choose Vera clinic again as I am very pleased with the end result of my transplant :)

I visited Estenove in January for a hair transplant, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From my very first consultation, the team was professional, honest, and incredibly supportive. They explained every step of the process in detail, which made me feel confident and comfortable throughout. The procedure itself was smooth and the staff went above and beyond to make sure I was well cared for. The aftercare instructions were clear, and the follow-up appointments showed how genuinely they care about their patients’ results. Now, several months later, I’m seeing amazing growth and a completely natural-looking hairline. I highly recommend Estenove to anyone considering a hair transplant. They deliver exceptional results and treat you like family!

6 months post-op

6 Month update: I had my hair transplant done with EsteNove about half a year ago now and I couldn’t be happier with how things have progressed up to now, From the very start with the video call consultation to the aftercare when I got home the clinic team have professional start to finish After 6 months, the transformation is undeniable. My hairline looks natural, density is filling in beautifully, and I feel more confident and feel much younger than I have in years. If you’re on the fence take it from someone who’s had it done just do it!,do the research, ask the questions, and trust the process. I’m glad I did—and grateful to the team with a big shout out to the main surgeon and his assistants who made it happen. Truly life changing work Photos are from before and after (6months)

I saw Mr. Adem through a recommendation. I was a little nervous at first. But thank you. They were very helpful. After giving me all the information, I went to their branch in Istanbul and had the procedure done. They had a lot of staff. They were all very good, practical and friendly. As you can see, my hair is perfect now. I am also very pleased with Mr. Adem. Even though a year has passed, he still asks me from time to time to see if everything is okay. Thank you for your work.

At the beginning of 2025, I contacted several clinics in Turkey about my hair loss and baldness. Several clinics refused to perform the procedures after seeing my photos. They believed that I had a small donor area and a large area of baldness. However, after discussing my situation with the Nimclinic staff we agreed on an operation in February. From the initial meeting at the airport to the procedure itself, everything was smooth and without any issues. The next day after the hair transplantation the scalp was washed and instructions were given to me on how to care for scalp and hair. As a result, 8 months after the transplant, the my hair was growing well, and the areas where they had bald patches were becoming covered with thick hair. I am very pleased with the transformation as all my family and my barber). Going to receive additional hair care treatments soon, and the full results would be visible in 4 months. Will share here later again Thank you, Nimclinic!

Good afternoon, last year I went through a very difficult time with excessive hair loss. I went to the Terziler clinic to see if I could regain healthy hair with a hair transplant, but since I'm 75, I was a little worried. Following the tests, I received PRP, mesotherapy, and laser treatments, and the results were incredible. First, I saw fine hair, then growth and thick strands. What surprised me most was that my naturally straight, fine hair started to grow back thick and wavy. I'm so happy. Thank you for your efforts. 🙏🌹

FUE 4400 grafts 1 months post-op

Hermest Hair Clinic – Unique FUE Hair Transplant Review I had the Unique FUE hair transplant procedure at Hermest Hair Clinic on September 6, 2025 . Below is my detailed review of the entire process Why I Chose Hermest I first heard about Hermest through a close relative who had their transplant there. After doing my own research, I found that Hermest is a well-established, government-approved clinic with consistently strong reviews. I reached out via WhatsApp and spoke with Buket, who explained the process and package options in detail. Initially, she suggested Sapphire FUE rather than DHI due to the number of grafts I would need, but she also shared that Hermest’s patented Unique FUE method has the highest reported success rate (99%). I ultimately chose the Unique FUE Premium Package, which included stem cell therapy and a 3-night stay. The package cost around $1,200–$1,400 more than Sapphire FUE, but since I was traveling all the way from NYC, I didn’t want to risk regretting my choice. Buket was amazing throughout — always available, patient with my questions, and supportive in arranging everything except my flight. For context, I also consulted with other clinics (like Serkan Aygin), but I felt more like a number there. With Hermest, I felt truly cared for as a patient. (Fun fact: even when I asked ChatGPT to suggest top clinics in Istanbul, Hermest came up in the top 5.) The Day of the Procedure Since I chose the premium package, I went in the day before for stem cell therapy — a quick 30-minute procedure. To be honest, I’m not sure I’d do it again, since that area felt extra sensitive on surgery day. On the procedure day, I was greeted by Nilufer, who managed my operation. Dr. Ahmet was present, but Nilufer was in charge. She advised that I might need a second session due to the size of the area to be covered, and she designed my hairline. I asked for a slightly lower hairline, but she explained why it wouldn’t look natural and recommended the best option — I appreciated her honesty. The team extracted follicles for about three hours, and the results were better than expected: many of my follicles contained double or triple hairs, which meant strong density in the transplanted area. Nilufer then performed the channel opening, punching 4,400 holes with impressive precision. After the team transplanted the grafts, she did a final check and made small adjustments. The next day, I was taken back for my first wash and then dropped off at the airport. Post-Procedure Support & Kit My aftercare coordinator is Yanur, who has been fantastic. She replies to questions within 12 hours and checks in every few days to see how I’m doing. That level of care makes a huge difference, especially for a first-time patient like me. Hermest also provided a post-transplant care kit, which included a special shampoo, HairMD foam spray, a neck pillow, and detailed instructions on how to wash and care for the transplanted area. This kit made the recovery process much easier and gave me peace of mind that I was following the right routine. I especially liked the HairMD foam spray. Even though the instructions were to use it only until the scabs came off, I kept using it because it really helped with itching. I even ordered another bottle from Amazon to continue using it. Recovery has been smooth overall. The hardest part was sleeping at a 45° angle for the first week, but once I could sleep on my side, it became much easier. By the end of week one, it looked like I had just shaved my head — no visible scars, thanks to the ultra-fine blade used in the Unique FUE technique. Final Thoughts (2 Weeks Post-Op) It’s been just over two weeks, and everything looks great so far. The clinic lived up to its promises, and I’m very happy with the experience. Now it’s just a matter of waiting for the long-term results — but based on everything so far, I’m confident I made the right choice. 👉 I’m also uploading pictures from the day of the procedure and 10 days after, so you can see the progress for yourself.

Beard Transplant 3000 grafts

My second hair transplant. First one was done in Canada and here in EsteNove they did a better job on the hair line than transplant that was done in Canada. Dr. Zafer is ver nice and patient guy. I would come back to this clinic again. Lasted 6 hours, 3000 grafts from the back and 500 from the beard. I am very happy with the hairline. I hate when I see how other clinics do zig zag hair line. That is ugly. EsteNove does it natural way. The only thing that I did not like was Dedemont hotel, do not stay there, place is a shithole. Thank you EsteNove.

Beard Transplant

Travelling from Australia and had my Hair and beard transplant in March. My experience with Sule Clinic was fantastic! Flew into Turkey on Sunday Night and was able to do my surgery on a Monday morning 7AM. Airport transfer was a little disorganised as we were waiting for so many other clients to arrive from all over the world. The Clinic has included a package deal with Windsor and/or Ramada Hotel. Would highly recommend staying at the Raddison Residences Avrupa as its location to the Clinic is closer + you have restaurants, pharmacy and supermarket downstairs. Trust me you'll need snacks and food to keep you on track with a great recovery. Hotel rooms include a kitchen, fridge/freezer, lounge area, washing machine, Netflix on TV and Gym and Sauna. Highly recommend if you have another person coming with you as the Windsor rooms are just way too small and limited facilities around it. The Staff at Sule Clinic are lovely! They have so much experience it felt like a well oiled machine. Sule was incredible to meet! She is truly a professional and very kind to her staff. Overall experience was great! Big thank you and your team for all your efforts.

Eyebrow Transplant

✨ Super happy with my experience at Dr. Cinik’s clinic! ✨ I recently had eyebrow implants and a blepharoplasty, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results 😍 Dr. Cinik’s medical team was amazing: very professional, kind, and attentive at every step. I felt completely comfortable before, during, and after the procedure 💆‍♀️ The team’s follow-up has been excellent, always attentive and super professional. The results so far are spectacular, and they told me they will keep improving over time! 🙌 The final result will be visible in a few months, but for now, I am happy, grateful, and 100% satisfied 💖 If you’re thinking about trying this innovative and trending eyebrow implant treatment, I totally recommend it 100%. Honestly, I highly recommend this clinic and the team ✨

My first experience in Turkey, let alone Istanbul, has been glorious thanks to the staff of the EsteNove team. From the very first contact, I was greeted and treated with consideration and compassion. All of my questions were answered, while my specific requests for treatment were addressed. Always do your research for hair transplants, but know that you will have a great starting and ending with EsteNove! ** 6 Month Update ** Howdy everyone, I wanted to share my journey thus far. It's been 6 months since the operation, and I have had monthly check-ups from Estenove team. To that note, with only half of my growth completed, my hairline is restored with an appearance of density that's 80% of the existing hair. No issues with patches of hair missing or over-harvesting in the back end. The result is about 10 years of youthful restoration to my appearance when considering my starting point of Norwood 2/3. Thank you again to EsteNove! I can understand skeptical, pragmatic approaches to hair transplants, especially procedures done overseas. However, i vouch for my anecdotal evidence that EsteNove is one of the superior leaders in the Medical craft, hospitality, and professionalism. Don't let your dreams be dreams, take the chance!

My hair transplant journey has been a great success. • From the very first days: The procedure was done with precision, and the new hairline was designed and implanted in a natural, balanced way. • During recovery: Swelling and redness were normal, but with proper care and following the doctor’s instructions, healing went smoothly. • As the months passed: The transplanted hair started to grow gradually, filling in the gaps and blending naturally with my existing hair. • The final result: It gave me a more youthful look and a huge boost of confidence. People around me immediately noticed the positive change. In short, the whole experience was very positive, and I can proudly say the transplant was highly successful and the results exceeded my expectations.

6 months progress and it’s just looks fantastic! I had the offer to stay in the clinic and not in the hotel which I would recommend. Nurses 24/7 on standby, nice rooms and very convenient! All in all it’s one of the best decisions I’ve made to come here!

Sapphire FUE 6 months post-op

I cannot say enough positive about this experience. I'm 56 years old and had accepted the hair loss already experienced and knowing it would continue. Through the encouragement of a family member, I decided to make it happen. I already had a trip planned to France so everything worked out to tag this experience to the end of that trip. From the accommodations (hotel, transport service, etc.) to the actual surgery, everything was top shelf. I was greeted with a translator once I arrived at the hospital and the process could not have been smoother. Dr. Cetinkaya is highly skilled and wonderful to work with. He also had a sense of humor which was nice while going through this process. The anesthesia was the worst part of the procedure. It was painful but didn't last too long...and was far worth the final results. I experienced swelling down to my eyes after surgery, especially during my flight back to the US. Again, it's just part of the process so go in knowing what could happen. I elected to use stem cells which I believe in. Can't prove they helped but I believe in them based on my past experiences with shoulder issues. That, along with being extremely disciplined with after care, I am ecstatic at the six month results. The pics are in order from Week 1, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3, Month 4, Month 5 and Month 6. Know that this is a journey that takes patience and you will get a lot of questions from others when they know something is different. Embrace it and do it for yourself. You will look back and be so glad you did.

After 4-5 years of hesitation and research, I finally decided to take the step and chose EsteNove, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From the moment I arrived in Turkey, everything felt right. The process started seamlessly with the driver picking me up at the airport. Despite the language barrier, his hospitality and warm demeanor put me at ease. One of the main reasons I chose EsteNove was trusting my gut instinct, supported by reading real, heartfelt reviews. I saw genuine feedback, both positive and constructive, which reassured me. Upon arriving at the clinic, I immediately felt the positive energy. Tanya, my medical advisor, played a huge role in making this experience incredible. She spoke fluent English and was kind, supportive, and always available to answer my questions. She felt like a personal guardian angel throughout this journey, turning what could have been an intimidating experience into something smooth. Dr. Zafer and his team were phenomenal. He explained the entire process clearly, often with a great sense of humor that I truly appreciated. His team, equally skilled and professional, worked like a dream team under his supervision. Their expertise and attention to detail made me feel confident that I was in the best hands. The clinic itself was modern, clean, and welcoming, and I noticed how well the team worked together, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I came to Istanbul alone for this procedure, and yet I never felt alone! EsteNove truly delivers. I will review again after 6 months for the results! re write now after 7 month : I would like to sincerely thank for the incredible result I have experienced after my procedure. From the very first day, I felt I was in the best hands, and the professionalism, care, and attention from the whole medical team truly exceeded my expectations. seven months later, I can say with confidence that this decision has changed my confidence and appearance in a very positive way. I am deeply grateful not only for the skill of the doctors but also for the kindness and support shown by everyone at the clinic.

After over two months of research, I chose Sule Hair Clinic in Turkey, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. The staff was friendly and made the whole process enjoyable. The procedure was virtually painless, which was a huge plus. I had some concerns about the outcome, but after seeing so many positive reviews, I felt confident. Now, just two weeks in, the results are impressive, and I can't wait to see the final outcome in the coming months.

From the moment I arrived in Istanbul, I felt taken care of. Dr. Cinik’s hair transplant clinic was well-organized, clean, and full of kind, helpful people. The procedure itself went smoothly and the aftercare instructions were clear and easy to follow. I’m now 8 months post-op and extremely happy with the results. It was definitely worth it!

I had a great experience with Sule Clinic. The whole process was easy. They took good care of me before and after the procedure. My results in only 6 months have been great! Can’t wait to see how the final results will look

12 months post-op

Wanted to wait a while to give my review. I am mixed Asian decent age 29 from Washington state and I traveled to Turkey in September of 2020. The first two photos are before the transplant had some receding and thinning hair on top. The other two photos are after about a year and 3 months. Some say you need to wait about 18 months to see full results. I am pretty happy with the before and after. It cost about 3k without flight. I opted for the additional pain relief shots. Glad I did! The hotel was included very nice one at that. They shuttle you to the center and the interpreter spoke good English. At first I was skeptical as it took a while for my hair to grow after the transplant but I am happy I did it. The whole process felt safe. Over all I’d do it again. I wouldn’t go in expecting miracles but it really did help my hair. I am also using Hims pills finestride daily. Tried minoxidil for a while didn’t like it as I lost more hair on minoxidil after I got lazy and quit. I do believe the hair transplant is the only real permanent solution. One thing that’s weird is that my hair was normally straight but it now curls a bit at the end. Nothing crazy just needed to learn to style somewhat curlier hair. UPDATE:Stopped using Hims. Killed the boner. Not worth the side affects. Would rather just get another hair transplant instead of finestride. Travel tip: if you go to the famous mosques their they are beautiful but their will be a lot of rug sales men and scammers looking for tourists. I didn’t like that part. I did really like the grand bazaar though one of the oldest shopping malls in the world.k

4500 grafts 12 months post-op

Getting a hair transplant by Dr Cinik has been the best thing I’ve ever done. As you can see from the photos the results have been incredible and I’m really happy. Photos are from beginning to 12 months. I was heavily receded on the front and the middle was thinning rapidly. About 90% of growth has been achieved. I’m from the UK and went with a friend. Transfers from airport to clinic were seamless and hotel is just down the road. I was a bit nervous but I knew it had to be done. The procedure itself was great, in a room with 2/3 members of staff who look after you. I’m not going to lie the injections to numb the scalp were bloody painful, but once that’s done it’s absolutely fine. Took about 8 hours with 4,500 grafts. It was hard sleeping the first few nights but you do get used to it and after the 2 week period I actually found myself having to get used to sleeping flat and on my side again. The first 2 weeks drag but once you get to remove the scabs (which is the best thing ever!) see photo which is just after removing them, time starts to move quicker. I would say 4 months was the time for me which I felt like I had a good hairline and the transplant was no longer noticeable. I have been taking Finasteride every other day without any side effects, will probably go onto minoxidil once I run out of tablets to give my body a rest. Feel so much more confident now and now my only dilemma is what hairstyle to have haha! The only drawback which certainly shouldn’t put you off getting it done is they are very pushy for reviews. From month 1 they wanted me to write a review and asked me at every check in. I told them I would do it after a year and the full results are through. As I would want to know the end result in a review not one month in! Bit annoying but obviously not connected to the results of the procedure.

3 months post-op

I recommend this clinic!!! I had a hair transplant on 15.10.2024 at this Clinic. About 2 months ago I contacted this Clinic and was taken over by Ms. Oana. Since then I have been talking to her, I made the appointment and she gave me all the information. I want to say that everything she told me happened, without exception. I was picked up from the airport, accommodated in a 4* hotel for 3 nights and then during the entire stay transferred between the hotel and the clinic and back to the airport. The intervention lasted about 7 hours, the intervention itself was not painful, only the anesthesia, the rest was bearable. You have to be patient, but the girls who do the sampling and implantation are also very patient. After the intervention I felt good, the next day I walked around Istanbul all day and I didn't feel anything. I should write a lot to tell you that the whole experience was very good and I am very satisfied with the services offered by this Clinic. I especially thank Oana for all the support she gave, she is very involved, empathetic, professional and nice. I recommend this Clinic from the bottom of my heart. And the price is very good. Of course I will come back with the results because in the end that is what counts The first picture is from immediately after the intervention and the second from the 5th day… now I have peeling that should disappear on the 10th day I come back with a review now after 3 months since the implant and I can say that I am satisfied with the result, especially since from what I understand the results are only starting to be seen from now on, and in the coming months it will be even better
